【点睛】这道题的难点在于，如何在词义和词性相近或未知的四个词语中，选中意义最恰当的一个。在做题时首先要快速浏览全文，对文章的大意有个基本概念。然后逐句快速阅读，在需要填空的地方，反复阅读空格处的上下文，根据前后文的意思和逻辑关系，综合推断出意义最合适的选项。例如，第3小题，我们首先看到空格前后分别有old buildings (旧建筑)和new high-rise ones(新高层建筑)，然后又根据选项里的固定搭配be placed with(被替换为)可知，这里的意思应该是旧建筑被新的高层建筑所替代，所以选项C最符合题意。又如第11小题，做这道题的时候，如果一开始难以确定答案，可以继续往下读。在最后一段里，有“The boy… placed it to his nose and took a large breath.”这样几乎完全一样的句子，可以据此选择第11题的答案是选项A。
